Beyond the Surface: Capturing True Community

with Sana Sana Social


Wellness hasn’t just been a recent phase for me, it’s the foundation of how I grew up. Looking back, my childhood was deeply rooted in holistic living. My father was constantly exploring ways to honor his body, whether through regular exercise, fasting, or natural remedies. Meanwhile, my mother ensured our kitchen was filled with fresh, whole foods, raising us in a primarily vegetarian household. Even now my mom is keen on only eating the freshest foods.

After years of working as a photographer, I recently hit a beautiful turning point in my career. I realized I only want to create work that truly aligns with who I am and what I value at this point in my life.

So, when Lisa, the founder of Sana Sana Social, first approached me to document one of her events, I knew I was on board after our very first conversation. We instantly bonded over our shared passion for wellness but not the superficial, trend-driven version you so often see. We both longed for a community where you don't have to look a certain way or act a certain way to belong. It’s simply about a shared desire to take care of yourself and surround yourself with like-minded people.

For the past year, I’ve had the privilege of photographing their events. Stepping into this space has been incredibly fulfilling; not only has it introduced me to an amazing network of inspiring women founders, but I've also loved listening to the incredible speakers Lisa brings in, who offer so much wisdom, knowledge, and joy to this community.
